Sorry Ekona but I got an amazing price on these 453's (£450 fitted all round) so thought it was worth a shot as I did like my previous 452's on the 50.
Initial impressions after 500 miles is that they are very good. The most noticeable change is that the road noise has been heavily reduced from the RE050s. Wet grip is far better, I can give the car some stick in 1st and 2nd now with minimal wheel spin. Dry grip has not been tested yet due to our great British weather though...
Just confirm this review is after 2 brand new sets of the Bridgestones and I am not comparing old tyres with new. So for a good 25%+ saving I am very pleased so far.
I cannot compare them to the forum hero that is the MPSS as I have never used them. Seems like the MPSS is in short supply at the moment as I couldn't get the rears from anywhere on the web.
Further to come once dry grip has been tested!
